Random notes, photos and musings from the "Land Down Under". Lame and self-serving I know, but a good way to keep you all updated as I'll never be any good at emailing.

Going, going...
"The latest Washington Post-ABC News survey shows that 65 percent of Americans disapprove of Bush's job performance, matching his all-time low. In polls conducted by The Post or Gallup going back to 1938, only once has a president exceeded that level of public animosity -- and that was Richard M. Nixon, who hit 66 percent four days before he resigned.
"The historic depth of Bush's public standing has whipsawed his White House, sapped his clout, drained his advisers, encouraged his enemies and jeopardized his legacy. Around the White House, aides make gallows-humor jokes about how they can alienate their remaining supporters -- at least those aides not heading for the door. Outside the White House, many former aides privately express anger and bitterness at their erstwhile colleagues, Bush and the fate of his presidency."

Two from the archives.
I believe this little impromptu S&M session happened
in the hours before a 1990 Pixies show in Leichester, England.
We'd been drinking "Pixies"
(cheap scotch mixed with blue curasaro and oranje juice)
which I think helped inspire this moment.
Thanks to Slash who supplied the photos.

Don't know who this guy is.
His stuff used to be all over the city but he's
either evolved or just plain disappeared.
I always liked his play on ObeyGiant's stuff...

As key Republican support for
President Bush's Iraq war strategy begins to erode,
Sen. Joseph I. Lieberman
today urged fellow lawmakers and the public
to give the American military surge time to work.
"We've got to think not about the next election but
the next generation,"
he told a Capitol Hill news conference.
The transition is complete captain...
Happy Independence Day!!!
